Presentations

Balancing Multiple Perspectives in Continuing Competence

Various stakeholders: the public, regulators, certifying bodies, practitioners, and others have similar and competing perspectives: All want access to affordable quality care. How can we protect the public by ensuring our practitioners are up-to-date, while avoiding regulations that are too costly, burdensome or lack relevance for the practitioner?

Research and Development of New Approaches: Brian Clauser, EdD, National Board of Medical Examiners

Using Assessment to Target Professional Development for the Individual

Several recertification programs are based on an initial assessment to determine where to focus certificants’ knowledge and skills development. What research supports this approach and how has it been received by certificants?

Certifying bodies in various countries have taken different approaches to support continuing competence – some based on practice competencies, some based on learning plans that target professional development, others using reflective practice or computer-generated learning plans. What are the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches?

New advances in longitudinal self-assessment and other MOC approaches: Tom O'Neill, PhD, American Board of Family Medicine

Healthcare Policy Approaches – The Role of Risk in Regulation

Regulators across the globe are increasingly evaluating risk to the public as they develop “right-sized” regulatory structures that vary in stringency. Risk has also been used to identify practitioners who may be more likely to harm the public. What is required to ensure practitioners are up to date in these various regulatory contexts?
